6. It's easier for the oligarchs today
because there is no Soviet Union or communist threat. Many people fail to understand that the wind in their sails was the fall of the Berlin war. They would like to shove everyone back to the working and environmental conditions of the early 1900s.

A good movie to remind everyone is what they are fighting is Reds.

9. The teabaggers remind me of mindless robots. Just wind them up and point
them in the direction you want and they will do your bidding like lemmings, in their worst interest. No questions asked, no thought behind their action. Ignorance is gravy to those wishing to subvert the US for their selfish business interest.
